Tuz details of the glorious victories obtained by our gallant army in Portugal, were this morning published: in a Gazette trtreordinary; which we have given in our preceding columns. The great leng t h o f the Gazette, and of the extrads which we have made from the Spanish and PortUguese pa pers, reader it impossible for us to comment at any length upon the brilliant success which has .at tended o ur arms , We c annot , however, avoid ex pressing our satisfadion that General JUNoT deter ruined to try the fate of a general anion in the field' If he ,had been besieged in the Forts by a very Su perior force, and compelled to surrender, the con sequences, it is true, as tar as relate to the 'delivery of Portugal, would have been the same . ; 61.1 t .%;e should not have h ad the opportunity of giving ano ther proof, that, in the open field, our Soldiers are, in point ,of discipline equal ; in point of real courage', superior to the French. Our Armies hive now had several opportunities of measuring their strength with the boasted Le;ions of BiJONAPARTE, and, tu,every :instance,-we 'have been victorious. Intelligence of the surrender of iNNOT and the Russian Fleet may be hourly expeded. After such 'a defeat he could hardly think of airy ftirther.fesist• ance, by which he could at the utmost only p'rd;-: trait his SUriender' for a very feW days. Government hive received accotnts thAt General REDING } add advanced to Madrid, and that Casra tos was shor,ly - eipeated there, for the purpose of Making arrangements for the establlshment àf a general :Government. We are happy to find that the inhabitants of Cuba have exprei3ed welt. determination to support ( their' lawful Sovereign. Their example, we have nailonbt, will be followed by the other Spanish Colun4. A Letter has been 'received at 1•100Ye5, frOln Oporto ; dated Aug. 28, which states, that the Preach Army under General 'JUICOT had evacuated Lisbon, after plundering the place of „i 3 Waggon Loads of Valuables, and on the v4th had an attion with the trit . ish Army, in which General toisos and - 4000 French were killed; Genersl JUNOT and the rest of bis Army taken Prisoners. Upon the Feench eva•- cuatin g Lisbon ; the Russian Fleet hoisted Portt.i guese Colours.. Governnient haft not received any intellizente Of the above. THE glorious accounts from Portugal; which we had yesterday the pleasure of submitting to the Pab preVerited us from Making a few observations on a very important article Which we also inserted yei terday, on the authority of private letters, respect ing the opening of the Ports of Holland for the ex portation of all goods to this Country, except Bark and Hides. We have received accounts from other channels which induce us to believe that this very extraordinary event has aaually taken place, and as it is to be considered as a concession on the part of the French Tyrant; it shows that he begins to be' apprehensive that the violence and oppression with which he has treated other States, is likely to be pro ot an alarming change in the dispositon . 0 1 their respective people. The truth is, that the De'tch Were reduced to the lowest state of misery, and that desperation was likely to ad like the nobler leeling of natioiml sp.r i, avid unless the Tyrant had made S 'me cc ncesson, with 4:spet to their commerce, a general insurrection would most probably have been the result of a perseverance in his former rigonr.— From what - we hear, however, ^a spirit has arisen in Holland, since the events which have taken place in Spain, which will require still greater conces• lions, and as the Tyrant yields, which it is proba ble he must do, the energy of those whom he has 80 long oppressed will proportionably increase.— But what is still more important, we have seen letters of a recent date, from .Paris, which, in spite of all. the rigid precautions adopted by BUONAPAItTeS agents in, that ,capital, .end 'all the swarm of spies with which 'it aboUnds, have found their way through Holland into this country. The .contents of these letters manifest a spirit that could only arise from a knowledge of his failures in Spain, and a confident hope that his Power i s i n its wane. It is not impossible, whatever may be his pride, that the fruStration of all his views in Spain, and the eve& of affairs in Portugal, may have induced him to think some relaxation of his severe'vstem of Govertunent necessary at home as well as i n hi s d epen d ent States, and such istfhe flexibility of •Frenchmen, and their pronene'ss to thane, that they would Inca probably have bLia tired of their Usurper, even if he had 'not kep 4 . them under-a heavier yoke than . they ever e t: ( l the 4 under that. Government which they so, furiou4 subverted. . . 'Wednesday morning her MAses.vt and the NUN CESSES, attended by Lady,l.Lcli ESTE% Went throw h Richmond in two coaches and four, and paid a visit ...to the Honourable Colonel GHEvit,LE, and Lady MANSFIELD, in Richmoiid-park, The Royal Visitors arrived there about . half-past twelve o'clock; they were met there by the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and CAMBaIDGE, Lord and Lady COUETOWN, Lord and Lady STUFFORD, and Lady CAEDIGAN. The Duke of CUMBERLAND'S band was in a tent in front of the house, and an her MAJESTY'S arrival played " God, save, the King." This excellent band played during the Royal Visitors' stay, several fine pieces of thusic. About three o'clock the Royal Party sat down to an excellent dinner, and about half-past five set off for Windsor Castle, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Guard:, Blues. . . In the morning, as her Maiasiv, came throUgh Twickenham, on her way to Richmond Park, she called and paid a visit to the Dowager Lady ELGIN, wh . , lives there. The Duke Del IN'FANTAiIo went to Madrid, on the 16tli of August, accompanied by Brigadier-Ge neral DOYLE, to have an interview with the Council of Castile', previous to the meeting at Imp.

It were to 4ithhold a justice froth the indisidual, and a pleasure from the public, not to flatlet the 'cliaraaer and the merits of Captain CAMPBELL, by whose hands the glorinus dispatches from Sir Ac- THUR WELLESLEY have been 'conveyed to Govern ment. A fitter organ to relate and explain the ex ploits of a Hero could not well be selected. fie is the brother of Captain CAMPBELL, of the Vi ite , who has so touch distinguished himself iti the Mediter ranean : he is one of four brothers . , three of whom have already gloriously fallen in fighting the battles '6f their country; and if there he peril in courage, resolution, and intrepidity, that affronts every danger, we are only surprised that this. Captain CAMPBELL, the Aid-decamp of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, has survived them. He has been long in Sir ARTHUR'S familv, and attended him in the battles of Assye, and Argacerri, and 'lately in tealand, in all of K hick services he has eminently distinguished him self. He had nearly got on board the Kangaroo on the 2 1 fit, with the account of the aaitm of the 17th, when he heard the firing of the engagement of the 2tst, and he immediately returned and joined Sir ARTHUR, in time to wanesss the whole of that me morable battle. But the history of Ca[tain CAMP DELL nay here be described - w two words: he is only abotit 'thirty years of age, and has been many of them in the army—in fine, he is an Officer young in ratk, but old in service. • The extreme insolence, the profligate rapacity, the proverbial cruelty of Jurior, must suppress, even in the minds of his own count rymen,allpity for his disgrace and humiliation. What is to become now of his Estate and Dukedom of Abrantes, one of the most honourable titles in Portugal, bestowed - upon him by his Master ? His Grace of ABRANTES' has shared- the fiite of his Majesty JOSEPH of Spain ; and if affairs succeeded as prosperously in some other • quatters, we shall soon have a double set of 'Emigrants in Europe, those of the BOURBON family and interest, and the Kings, Princes, and Nobles of the house or creation of the BUONAPARTES King 3 °SEPH ba4 lost his throne, and his Grace of ABRAN-' TES his laurels, his vineyards and his palaces. The new revolution could not commence its operations in a more auspicious manner. The order issued by Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY to his troops, was briefly and simply this :—" My brave Countrymen ! drive the French out of the ,Raises on the road to Lisbon ;" and thiS order was fully and promptly executed. It was the French General SHIVAULT who was killed, and General BERNIER who was wounded and made prisoner. LUISSON was missing, and supposed to be among the slain. When General BERNIER was taken by one-of our grenadiers, he offered - him his purse and watch to let him go; but the grenadier spurned the offer, hi ought the General to his Colonel, and was revc ard ed by Sir Art - rnutt WELLESLEY with a purse.—The French General expressed to the English Colonel much surprize at the disinterestednws of the fgrena ditr. " Don't be surprised," said the Colonel, " We are not come as robbers." BERNIER, then addressing himself to Sir A. WELLESLEY, said, From the manner in which you, have fought, I suppose you have got the picked men of the arniy of England. - " By no means," replied Sir AR ian, " this is only a spcciinen of what the rest are." • The knapsacks olthe French soldiers, left on the .! field, were found to be stutfed with silver spoons, cups, and other articles of plate which they had plundered. The ilfricaine Frigate is arrived at Portmouth, from Madeira, which place she left on the I lib ult. His Majesty's Ship Stork arrived there on the 25th of July, from Plymouth, having on board the Pope's Nuncio bound to the Brazils. -L—His Majesty's Ship Potyphermis, with a Fleet under convoy which sailed from Portsmouth on the 2d of July, arrived at Madeira on the 27th July, and sailed from thence on the 3d 4ugust, for the West Indies. It is highly to the•honour of the Irish Militia, that the volunteering of last week has produced the toll number which the several regiments were permitted 'bs law law to furnish ; and that so strong a spirit of honest patriotism prevailed in its ranks, that many I _. hundreds who wished to volunteer would have come fOrward had they not been prevented by this neces sary . • .• AV A L E S", . _ NICTSMOUTII, SEPT. .2.--Arrivcd bis Majesty's Ship St. %law's, with DispatcheS grow Lisbon; and SI, 4' Cutter, front Guernsey. • .

The Catherine, MonalsoN, of this .port, from Bermuda to New York, has been taken, re-taken, and arrived at Halifax. In the Corunna Diary, .of the .24th August, it is positively stated, that FERDINAND IV. .King of Naples, had arrived at .Algesiras on the't 6th. Nekt Week the Corn ii , larket is to open three days a week, es usual, meetings in towns coast ways having been held, and remonstrances having taken place, likewise to the Loan MAYdR, on the incon veniency of only two days a week by occasioning the detention of VeSsels on expeoces, and heating and damaging the Corn in hot weather, and also depriving the Merchants of speedy sales, with many other obstacles. Lientenant , Colonel Ross, of the 70th Regiment, late Governor of St. Croix, has been appointed vernor of Demerara, in the ruutn of Brigadier-Ge neral NICHOLSON. I r estea day, at three o'clock, an inquest was held at the Black Boy, in Long, Acre, before ANTHONY GELL, Esq. Coroner for Westminster and it, Liber ti-es,. on the body of Osmond Penny, a boy ahulit two years and five months old, the child of a var nish-maker in Long Acre, who lost 'his life in the Strand,. near Catherine-street, on Wednesday even ing; at half after seven o'clock. Thomas Gulley, a shop-boy at Anstey . and Co.'s linen-drapers, at the corner of Catherine-street, deposed, that whilst the servant girl, with the child in herarms, was crossing from the Turk's Head 'Coffee-houSe, on the Mathes side of the Strand, 'towards his master's house, on the Covent-garden side, he saw a Gentleman's coach with a Lady in it, driving furiously aleng froM Exeter 'Change way towards the New' Church.--;- Apprehending some dauger, he called out to the coachman. Two or three other persons, apparent ly feeling for the girl and the child; also called Out, but to no effect. The girl's foot slipped, she fell, and by the force of the fall, the child was thrown out of her arms. The coach coming up, one or two of its wheels rolled over the child; it was taken to the shop of Mr. Stanton, surgeon , and apothecary, in the Strand, who stated, that the great carotid artery was nearly separated ; • that the jaw was fractured, and that the infant had sus tained a severe compressure of the skull, the whole of which occasioned its almost instant death. In the opinion of the boy, the coach man had sufficient time to have pulled up of turned his horses from the time of his calling out until that of the accident tah.ing place. Mier the accident, the coachman looked round, and, theii , ll called to repeatedly, increased the rapidity of his driving, and got clear off. Mr. Marsh, of Ludgate -street, left his address, and declaTes that h cot point out the coach and driver if he were to see them again. The wit ness did not see any other carriage of any kind in the way of the coachman at the time. The girl au4 Oild were both dressed in light coloured clothes. A man of the name of Calcott also swore that the coachman had sufficient time to stop s or turn his horses, it he had been disposed so to:do. The poor girl, from whose arms the child fell, was extremely agitated ; she was almost incapable of relating the sad story. However, she swore that at the time when her foot slipped, the coach was by no means near her, though, by driving so furiously as it did, it soon came up to her and the child, and. committed the fatal injury. Verdict ---" That the child came by • its death through the extreme negligence of the coachthan," and a deodand of 501. was ordered to be levied on the coach. Fzaa.---On Thursday night, about twelve o'clock; the back part of the house of Mr. Webb, chemist, in St. George's Fields, opposite the Obelisk, was dis covered to be in flames by the watchman. All the family was SO sound asleep, that the passage-door was'obliged to he broke open to gain adm;ssion for the fire engine that first arrived. The principal loss has been sustained by some Jews, who h.td a ware room in the back premises, which, toe - ether with its whole contents, was consumed to ashes. Mr. Webb bas also sustained very considerable loss,. The house itself was fortunately insured. spAlvisii PAPERS', r t.air n, IU . L.Y 2Q.--The French rriaking tao tiont. , .but that the stun of money which they had busil7 employed to seduce and commit Spanish hor, , made a fresh attack on the city' of - &-iragOssa, 6e n strong, early on the morning of the 15th f 1;7 , month. A battery of six pieces of cannon, Vverfleaded with grape-shot, and the sixth Ipurpoself-Merely loaded With powder, defended the entrance of • the • Rastrazate, against which the enemy, who . had been suffered to cross: the Ebro without opposition, dire&ed their attack. They were pel - mitted to,approach within musket shot to the point which they supposed to be sold to them, and .even then the gun only loaded with powder, in order to confirm them in their supposition, that they might approach without any apprehension ot 'danger. But when they were perfectly within the rimge of the above battery, the fire pieces of cannon, loaded with grape shot, opened on them a tpostlremendous fire, whiCh produced a most dreadful slaughter among the enemy's troops. At the same time the Arragonese made a vigorous sally on the French, spreading among them consternation and dismay, and put them completely to the rout. This success did not, however, satisfy the brave and valiant sol diers ; they purstied the enemy, attacked their camps, and compelled them to make a precipitate retreat. Thus the threat', f our ferocious enemy to reduce the capital of Arragon again failed of success, nor will they ever he able to attain that aim. PA LAFOX commands here, he commands Arragonese, the enemy shall never .succeed !—(Oviedo Gazette, Aug. 17.) TARRAGONA, JULY 9.—General LABRUN, not de terred by his late fruitless attack on the town of Gerona, chobe to make another attempt, at the head of 4000 (Iwo, in hopes that it might prove more suceessful, but his expectations have been sadly frustrated; he was attacked on his march and de feated with the loss of 18 pieces ot cannon, and forced to fall back to Barcelona with the remains of his division.—.( 7e same Paper.)
